I have been going through all the old models and I have noticed how some of them have held up while others, well, are not very good. Cupid is one I am pleased with and the rig is in and now rigging the face.
Here is an action shot of cupid.
Face rigging is in and now it is onto the wings again. I started with a premise as the wings are more like another set of arms. So I rigging them that way for now. Robert thinks each one of the geometry feathers will have to have a bone. I have completely reworked the jaw and lips. I have also modeled new teeth, mouth and tongue. When I created the model many years ago I found I had a mesh within the mesh. I could not separate the two around the teeth and mouth and lips. So I deleted them and started over.
I have weighted the entire body and face and the last thing to weight is the jaw and the neck.
Then it will be off to finalize the shorts and decal his face and body and Cupid will be ready!
